Tips from the Community
The area depicted in these images is located a short distance from the parking lot where it's best to leave your car and explore (on foot or by bike) the countless trails that surround the lake. This is one of the few truly accessible areas along the entire perimeter because, perhaps to protect the lake's fragile ecosystem, the trail that circles it is kept at a constant distance. In any case, aside from the lake, the entire surrounding rural area is worth a visit, still pleasantly unspoiled. A trip in autumn is highly recommended for the myriad colors of the vegetation. Both cyclists and walkers should be careful, as I didn't notice any distinction between trails reserved for mountain bikes and those reserved for pedestrians; many secondary paths have dead ends!

Beautiful old town with imposing buildings and views of the mountains.

The square was opened between 1843 and 1844 after the demolition of the Church of Santa Chiara and the southern part of the convent of the same name. The Convent of Saint Clare was built in 1310, and the nuns remained here until 1802, the year the order was abolished following the Napoleonic decree suppressing religious orders. The approximately 2,200 square meter square was created specifically for the grain market, as the colonnades could serve as shelter for grain during bad weather.

A very pretty stretch along the canal. But be careful not to fall in. :-))

The castle is beautiful but not open to visitors. The view from the park in the square in front of the nearby church is beautiful...
